People with cataracts may benefit from dark mode. People with glaucoma or higher order aberrations (e.g. me) may benefit from light mode. Web sites should use `prefers-color-scheme`; native GUI programs should use the native equivalents (or default colours); command-line programs should not assume a particular background.

- hulitu 3y agoThe main problem is that there is no dark or light mode. It is light gray on white or dark gray on black (and the white and black are also gray). It is just sick.
- kps 3y agoLow contrast is a problem, but high-contrast light mode and high-contrast dark mode are each also problems for some people.
